SIDEBAR: Lewis B. Hainsworth of Western Australia first recognized
the relationship of brain wave frequencies to naturally circulating
rhythmic signals, known as Schumann's Resonances (SR), in the space
between the surface of the earth and the ionosphere. Hainsworth
imparted this awareness to Dr. Robert O. Becker, noted electromagnetics
pollution expert, and to Harvard neurologists as early as 1975.
In 1977, the relationship between brain-wave rhythms and natural earth
ELF signals became the basis for Itzhak Bentov's Stalking the Wild
Pendulum (Dutton, 1977). Later research confirmed a relationship
to health, well-being, and even ESP or psi phenomena.

Hainsworth
sent up a clarion cry against hazardous EM pollution. Dangers
pale compared to the global threat of technologies such as HAARP,
which send violent pulsations into the earth's ionosphere, potentially
disrupting the entire electromagnetic shield of the earth. Some
suggest that the frequency of the basic SR is changing in value, possibly
threatening the whole biosphere, human welfare, and our evolutionary
future. All biological processes are a function of electromagnetic
field interactions, which are the connecting link between the world
of form and resonant patterns. EM fields store gestalts or patterns
of information. The bridge connecting solar system resonances
and brain frequencies resides in our human DNA helix, which evolved
in this environment.

INTRODUCTION

The
rhythm of life has evolved at an even tempo for epochs. We live
in a matrix of oscillating fields; the tiniest fluctuations in one
interlocked field carry over perturbation into others. Many
times per second, pulses travel completely around the world between
our planet's surface and the ionosphere sending coordinating signals
to all organisms. These signals couple us to the global electrostatic
field. Named for their discoverer, these Schumann Resonances
(SR) provide the orchestrating pulse for life on our planet.

We all march to
the cadence of this cosmic drummer -- our planetary heartbeat, which
sets the tempo for health and well-being. Damaging this planetary
pacemaker could spell doom for life as we know it. In the name
of progress and defense, this pacemaker is now threatened, while vast
amounts of public money are spent on this exploitation. Even more
tax funds are allocated to implement the ill-conceived "Star
Wars" missile defense, and the energy beam Project HAARP.

“What
is clear is that part of the money voted to Bush’s Star Wars
plan will be used for research into space-based lasers,” the
Independent reported. “These, we are told, will be used
to shoot down the missiles fired in anger by ‘rogue states.’
But they will, inevitably, evolve into weapons aimed at America’s
enemies from space. U.S. Space Command doesn’t even bother to
hide this fact. The most chilling illustration in Vision 2020 is of
such a space-based laser firing a beam of energy at the earth.”

"What
the Russians are worried about (as they’re trying to explain
in badly translated prose from Moscow’s Interfax News Agency)
are U.S. plans to begin large-scale scientific experiments using the
Alaska-based HAARP in 2003. Ninety Russian deputies signed the appeal
against the HAARP program, charging that the experiments “would
create weapons capable of breaking radio communication lines and equipment
installed on spaceships and rockets, provoke serious accidents in
electricity networks and in oil and gas pipelines and have a negative
impact on the mental health of people populating entire regions.”
(Fitrakis, 2002)

The
ionosphere shields us from deadly radiation from the sun and deep
space. Holes are now being routinely punched in this insulating
blanket by high-frequency radio waves, and may accidentally tear open
the fragile cocoon of human and planetary evolution. Dire consequences
could be as devastating as the failure of an individual's pacemaker.
First, we will give an overview, then define and describe some terms
used here in greater detail deeper in the article.

This environmental
rhythm -- the fundamental driving system for all life on our small
blue planet -- is jeopardized by human manipulations of the ionosphere,
such as project HAARP. It is dangerous to fool with Mother Nature
as the results of ozone depletion and other ecological calamities
have shown. It might be easy to see that such survival risks
don't balance alleged benefits, but targeted research on potential
problem areas has been virtually non-existent.

Lewis
B. Hainsworth was among the first to suggest that human health is
linked with geophysical parameters by way of the naturally occurring
Schumann ELF (extremely low frequencies). His hypothesis identified
naturally occurring features which determine the frequency spectrum
of human brain-wave rhythms. He concluded that the frequencies
of human brain-waves evolved in response to these signals. If
the hypothesis is correct, conditions for evolutionary changes in
human brainwave patterns have now been established.

Hypothesis:
"The frequencies of naturally occurring electro-magnetic signals,
circulating in the electrically resonant cavity bounded by the earth
and the ionosphere, have governed or determined the 'evolution' or
development of the frequencies of operation of the principal human
brain-wave signals: In particular, the alpha-rhythm is so placed
that it can in no circumstances suffer an extensive interference from
naturally occurring signals."

Further,
variations in them can produce mild to disastrous health and behavioral
changes. These waves probably help regulate our bodies'
internal clock, affect sleep patterns (REM), and hormonal secretion.The nature of the applied stimulus makes
it difficult to identify the responses directly, as they are most
likely to occur in the form of stress-related conditions. They
will therefore, show up as drastic increases in mental disturbance,
anti-social behavior, psycho-somatic conditions, and neurological
disturbances. Some electrical field phenomena have already
been linked with abnormal cell growth and a decrease in immuno-competency.

All
these factors could be expected to lead to the appearance of 'new'
diseases, probably accompanied by a decline in resistance to many
minor infections: an increase in conditions related to abnormal cell
development, including cancer, birth defects, and infertility and
an increase in psychological disturbance problems, e.g. drug addiction,
and suicides. These existing psychobiological problems will
increase in scale, but could be studied for deviations from 'normal'
alpha cycles of 10.4 Hz with detectable changes in psychological characteristics
and mental abilities.

Hainsworth
therefore strongly urged that research be carried out by widespread
measurements of the natural SR signals' frequency variations and field-strengths
comparing them with resulting figures for the incidence of heart attacks,
suicide attempts, road accidents, social violence, domestic accidents,
crime, etc. Studies are often conducted in this inferential
way, such as those by Krippner and Persinger (1989), searching correlations
between the phenomenon of earth lights and tectonic strain with reports
of UFO sightings, abduction reports and other anomalous psychophysical
experiences, for an electromagnetic correlation to temporal lobe seizures.

The
authors also strongly suggest that correlations of broad changes in
the modulations of Schumann's Resonance be studied in relationship
to microwave radiation, ELF signals, and HAARP, for both immediate
and long-term consequences. We have discussed the obvious ramifications
of such EM pollution and 10 - 50 Hz modulations on the human system
elsewhere ("Synthetic Telepathy," 2001).

We
(Miller & Miller) have discussed the benefits for human well being
and relaxation to entraining with these natural rhythms in The
DiamondBody (1981). When a person is deeply relaxed,
slow rhythmic sine wave patterns can be detected in both the EEG and
the heart-aorta resonating oscillator in the 6-8 Hz range. Resonance
occurs when the natural vibration frequency of a body is greatly amplified
by vibrations at the same frequency from another body.

Oscillators
alter the environment in a periodic manner. Thus, standing waves
in the body, during meditation/relaxation or not, can be driven by
a larger signal. Progressively amplified wave forms, created by resonance,
result in large oscillations entraining other circuits in the body
tuned to those frequencies. A hierarchy of frequencies thus
couples our psychophysical selves to the harmonic frequency of the
electrical charge of the Earth, which naturally pulses at the same
frequencies. This is hardly a coincidence as we are adaptive
products of our environment.

Our
planet is surrounded by a layer of electrically charged particles
called the ionosphere. The lower layer of the ionosphere is
roughly 80 km from the crust; this charged layer is known to reflect
radio waves. Bombardment by HAARP signals "pushes"
out this boundary layer, thus altering the natural pulsating rhythm.
Natural fluctuations in frequency occur daily, by the lunar month,
and in response to solar flares.

Since
this is a highly charged layer, the ionosphere forms a so-called capacitor
with the Earth. This means that there is a difference in electrical
potential between the two, the Earth being negatively charged and
the ionosphere being positively charged. This potential varies
somewhat but is around 200 volts/m. This is a fundamental type
of electrical generator. The solar winds, interacting with the
upper atmosphere rotation, act as a collector and brushes of a generator.
The lower atmosphere can be seen as a storage battery for this gradient
potential.

This
electromagnetic field around the earth can be viewed as a stiff jelly.
When our bodies move and vibrate, these movements are transmitted
to the environment, and vice versa. These fields not only impinge
on our bodies, they also affect the charges inside our bodies.
When we are standing on the ground, under normal conditions, we are
grounded. Our body then acts as a sink for the electrostatic
field and actually distorts the force lines somewhat. Our body
also has its own electrostatic field about itself. These field
lines are the result of the various biochemical reactions in the body.
This resultant bio-field couples us to the isoelectric field of the
planet (Miller & Miller, 1981).

In
1957, W. O. Schumann calculated the Earth-ionosphere cavity resonance
frequencies, which were then named for him. He fixed the most
predominant standing wave around 7.5 Hz. A "tuned system"
consists of at least two oscillators of identical resonance frequencies.
If one oscillator starts emitting, the other will be activated by
the signal very shortly, in the process of resonance, entrainment,
or kindling.

Kindling
is a term applied, in particular, to the entrainment of neurons in
the brain. They are ignited in coherent global patterns producing
larger waves across a greater surface of the brain. It becomes
obvious that in deep meditation, when waves of alpha and theta rhythms
cascade across the entire brain, it is possible for the human being
and the planet to come into resonance. There is a transfer of
energy and information, which is embedded in a field rather than being
a field. Perhaps the planet communicates with us in this primal
language of frequencies.

Ample anthropological
evidence shows that humans have intuitively synchronized with the
planetary resonance throughout human history and back into the mists
of time. There is cross-cultural evidence
demonstrating a variety of ritualistic practices which enhance this
harmonization with the planetary field. Perhaps the most obvious
"drivers" of these trance states are shamanic drumming and
trance dance, arguably employed for over 50,000 years. Pulsing
light is another driver. A further example comes from the use
in both the Jewish and Muslim faiths of bobbing and swaying while
praying or reading holy books.

This
trancing phenomenon can be presumed to ingrain texts at a deeper level
and to create "experiences" to go along with conceptual
indoctrination. It may also be linked in some manner to hypnotic
gesturing (mudras) and speech, and therefore to charisma or so-called
"mana" personalities. Mead and Bateson reported a
technique transmitted to Balinese children which this culture intuitively
employed to harmonize their communities. They discovered that
the parents encouraged their children to vibrate parts of their body,
harmonizing to the SR cycle. And you can do the same thing; you may
already do it unconsciously.

If you sit
in a chair and move your foot so that it's resting on the ball of
the foot, and you get it at the right angle, your whole leg will start
to vibrate. It goes into an oscillation. That oscillation is so close
to the SR cycle as to be virtually the same. And that's what Balinese
parents encouraged their children to do. It helps them go into trance.

If one looks
into a classroom of children, one will notice that the children are
never sitting still. Teachers and parents become annoyed, constantly
telling them to "Sit still!" They are constantly bouncing
their legs; and moving their arms. This may be a natural way in which
our body energizes itself. And this may even be the heart and
soul of most ceremonial experiences. The body will begin to move,
and hands begin to flutter. When one look at the hands of a healer,
they are typically fluttering. And if one looks at the older
ceremonial practices, where there is less constraint on what they
should or should not do, the whole body is usually shaking, fluttering,
or in constant motion.

And you'll
see this in the Kalahari Bushmen healing dance, where someone is filled
with life energy. Every part of their body becomes aroused,
hot, and begins shaking. If they grab another person and hug
them, that person also begins shaking and may turn and grab someone
else. One by one, everyone begins literally vibrate with this
pulsing energy. However, by the time it gets to our culture or other
contemporary cultures (like Chinese medicine), this phenomena becomes
very constrained and expresses through more subtle practice, such
as "therapeutic entrainment."

Can anybody
intentionally induce this healing/energizing frequency? Yes,
certainly. There are all the kinds of little tricks and techniques
-- because there is not just one right way. It is a very natural
capcity our bodies are intuitively capable of effecting, vibrating
with the pulse of life itself. The purpose of this movement
is to get outside the limitations and constraints of isolated
individual mind and connect with something greater. It has any
number of names but this “greater Mind” links us to one
another and to nature as a whole. (Keeney, 1997)

C.M. Anderson,
M.D. (1998) of Harvard describes a commonly experienced yet little-understood
phenomenon he calls the Persistent Oscillatory Sound. Many people
notice this internally-generated 'sound,' particularly when ill or
dehydrated, as it seems to become "louder." It sounds
like an insect hum. Anderson links it, as well as the REM or
dream state and Post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTDS) to the normal
alpha 10Hz rhythmicity, as cited by I. Miller (2001):

"Anderson
speaks of the disturbing effect of lights and sounds, which might
result from loss of normal global habituation due to RF destabilization,
resulting in fear and/or rage. Again, trauma and drug abuse history
is strongly associated with asymmetric hemispheric function.
Temporal lobe structures such as the hippocampus and amygdala are
particularly sensitive to the effects of child abuse and trauma.

"Anderson
conjectures the oscillatory sound could indicate rapid shifting or
cycling of attentional resources between the left and right hemispheres,
downshifting the normally constant 10 Hz rhythmicity of the olivocerebellar
system. This oscillatory auditory effect may function as an
auditory driver. The downshift effect may indicate possible
flooding of the left hemisphere by material from the uninhibited right
which takes over primary conscious focus. This sets the stage,
along with phasic fluctuations of the S-Net and uninhibited PGO, for
the sudden onset of the SOC state and the waking dream period.

"Anderson
alludes to “waking dreams as a healing journey through the
fractal hyperspace of emotionally indexed childhood memories.”
He asserts that “the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is a critical
neural substrate of the waking dream stage as fractal neural bursting
in this subcortical cortex-like structure may represent access points
in a fractal hyperspace of emotionally indexed memories.”

“The
effects of early trauma on the development of the amygdala and other
temporal lobe structures may interfere with its normal bilateral function
during REM-sleep mediated consolidation of emotionally significant
events. The recall of traumatic childhood experiences in adults,
due to the immaturity of limbic structures at the time of trauma,
may require electrical stimulation or intensive PGO-like activity
present during the oneiric state. Habitual disruption of normal
sleep processes by stress associated with combat, bereavement, divorce,
child abuse, neglect or chronic drug abuse interferes with the natural
restorative function of phasic REM processes.”

According
to electrical engineer Hainsworth, the influence of naturally occurring
SR signals on brain-wave pattern evolution is formally stated to show
that low-power electrical fields could produce evolutionary change.
The electrical fields produced by modern electro-technology are then
possible sources of evolutionary change. The characteristics
of some forms which might result should be considered. Some
fields might inhibit survival of existing forms. Because of
lack of available data, precise measurements are lacking and must
therefore be quantitatively valueless. Technology not only will,
but IS changing human evolution. Only extensive investigation
of the naturally occurring signals will give any lead to show what
results might occur.

The
possibility exists that human health is linked with geophysical parameters
by way of the naturally occurring Schumann Resonances. A number
of attempts have been made to discover the correlation through geo-magnetic
and ionospheric storms. The correlation comes through the biological
fact that the human system is apparently sensitive to such low-power
ELF signals. We don't know what the range of such a correlation
might be.

The
frequency values of the SR signals are determined by the effective
dimensions of the cavity between the earth and ionosphere. Thus
any events which change these dimensions will change the resonant
frequencies. And as Hainsworth warned, "such events
could be ionospheric storms, and could even result from a MAN-MADE
IONOSPHERIC DISTURBANCE," [emphasis added]. In
field theory, any disturbance that drives fields from their harmonious
rhythm, spreads out to disturb neighboring fields. Harmonizing
rhythms usually return to orderly pulsations once the source of disturbance
is removed. A strong harmonizing rhythm will drive and entrain
the matrix of interlocking fields, creating more orderliness.

Geomagnetic
storms are the magnetic changes produced by ionospheric storms, and
are thus associated with conditions capable of changing the Schumann
signals. However, although such storms can produce these changes,
measurement of these parameters can not give any indication of whether
the resonant signals have changed to a value outside their normal
range or not. Since the undisturbed state of the ionosphere
corresponds to the normal Schumann resonance patterns, then ionospheric
disturbances are likely to produce abnormal patterns, but will not
necessarily do so in all cases. If biological response is linked
to the Schumann signals, this will reduce any apparent link with geomagnetic
or ionospheric data.

Trying
to determine relations between geophysical and biological conditions
can become extremely complex. The frequencies of the Schumann
signals change with ionospheric conditions. These conditions
change diurnally, seasonally, and with variations in solar activity.
That, in its own turn, varies both with the eleven-year sunspot cycle,
and also with a twenty-seven to twenty-nine day cycle, mainly during
sunspot minimum periods. Lunar tidal changes in the height and
thickness of the layers could also sometimes affect the cavity dimensions
and hence the Schumann frequencies. So can powerful ELF signals
from HAARP.

It
should be born in mind that if some signal conditions are harmful,
then other conditions might be beneficial. This mean that
if, for example, season and tidal conditions have resulted in the
signals being in a biologically disturbing state then the advent of
a solar flare could result in changes in the signals bringing them
into a biologically beneficial state. The converse could also
occur.If we are sensitive to ELF
signals, then when these factors are considered we would expect to
get confusion if we try to link any effect with geophysical changes.
For instance we could get incidence of classic states of "lunacy"
some years if damaging signals coincided with full moons, then other
year's observation and analyses would show that the effects were not
lunar.

An
analysis of the correlation between the incidence of ionospheric disturbances
and rates of admission to Heathcote Hospital (Western Australia) for
about a three year total indicated that when a disturbance occurred
then the admission rate changed. The probability of the association
being random was of the order of 2000:1 against. However,
the fact that sometimes the rates went up and sometimes down, showed
that ionospheric storms changed the rate of incidence of mental disturbance
in a way that is consistent with that change being dependent on the
actual causes being linked to variations in the Schumann resonant
signals. At that point, Hainsworth decided to concentrate on
trying to get some observational work going on measuring the Schumann
signals.

Hainsworth's
set up used a 2000-turn 1 metre square antenna, and another of 1/3
metre square, plus amplifiers to handle signals from the 0-30 Hz.
His amplified Schumann signals were analyzed in a laboratory.
On one occasion the signal dropped to zero amplitude when a solar
flare occurred, and did not start recovering for about an hour and
a half. It was originally just under 7 Hz and came back at only
just over 6 Hz. His next step would have been to develop a wave
analyzer to try to pick out individual signals. But the failing
health of both himself and his wife prevented this.

The
value of proceeding with his seminal work has now increased many-fold
by the threat to his homeland Western Australia by the proposed Missile
Shield. This is the offspring of the United States' HAARP program
in Alaska, whose raison d' etre or mission statement is vague to purposefully
misleading, allegedly dealing with national security.

EM
FREQUENCIES AND BRAINWAVE RESPONSES

Hainsworth
posed a series of questions, all of which are answered with a resounding
'yes.' This should lead us in the direction of extreme caution
toward introducing new EM or ELF sources and ionospheric changes
in our environment. He presented his data in the two appended
papers.

1.
Does the human biological system contain, use, or generate, any forms
of electrical signal?2. Does it respond to any of these
signals?3. Does it respond to audible signals
at these frequencies?4. Does it respond to optical signals
at these frequencies?5. Do human signals change with psychological
or mental states, such as stress or problem solving?6. Does the human system respond to
any very, very low power electromagnetic signals?

Brain-waves
have only been studied since about the mid-1920s, and the signal form
that is apparently most widely known, and identified is the alpha-rhythm.
The frequency of this signal varies from individual to individual,
but it lies between about 8Hz and 12Hz, with an average value of 10.5Hz.
Theta- and Beta- rhythm signals also occur, and are identifiable by
EEG, below the 8Hz, and above the 12Hz frequencies.

Since
the discovery and measurement of these signals a great deal of effort
has been devoted to trying to work out how they originated in the
first place, and what determines their frequencies of operation. In
the early-to-mid 1950s a geo-physicist (almost certainly uninterested
in neurology) suggested that electromagnetic signals might circulate
at extremely low frequencies in the electrically resonant cavity between
the earth and the ionosphere. He was right. The signal
came to be called Schumann resonance. One major component was
originally predicated at a frequency of about 10Hz. In 1959
it was measured to be slightly different. Meanwhile the military
co-opted the discovery for using ELF signals for submarine communications.

In
fact, the first mode of these circulating signals has an average value
of 7.8Hz with a typical diurnal range of from 7.2 to 8.8 Hz, and the
second mode has an average value of 14.1Hz and a range of from 13.2
to 15.8Hz. These match the brain-wave Theta-rhythm and Beta-rhythm
nicely. The blank range between the two modes is a very reasonable
match with the normal frequency range of the human alpha-rhythm, between
8 - 12Hz or cycles.

Additionally,
it was found that there is minimum (zero) power circulating in the
earth/ionosphere cavity at 10.4Hz - which is virtually an exact match
for the average value of the Alpha-rhythm. Hainsworth points
out that the existence of these natural signals and the close relationship
of their frequencies of oscillation was unknown to senior neurologists
and mental health specialists as late as 1975.

Hainsworth
argues that up to the end of 1979 no long-term systematic measurements
of any great value of the Schumann resonance signals were being made.
Measurements were being made intermittently for the purpose of obtaining
research data for use by post-graduate geophysicists in constructing
esoteric mathematical models of the ionosphere.

It
follows from this that, until long after the end of 1979, no figures
on these signals were available. Consequently no "expert"
can produce numerical evidence to support an objection to Hainsworth's
original hypothesis, since the only numerical values available are
those favoring it. He left us with some open-ended questions:

7.
Has any evidence ever been obtained to indicate that the human system
is totally unaffected by externally applied electromagnetic fields?

8.
Have any measurement programs ever been attempted to show whether
the human system is either (a) totally unaffected, (b) always affected,
or (c) sometimes affected by naturally [or artificially] occurring
electromagnetic signals?

9.
Have the existence of such signals, having a close relationship with
human biological signal frequencies been known for many years?

10.
Have those relationships been studied with adequate protocols in any
detail?

Summary:
Planet Earth has a natural frequency for electromagnetic radiation
called the Schumann resonances. The human brain also has resonant
natural frequencies for EM radiation "in tune" with the
planetary cycles. Schumann Resonances are actually observed
by experiment occurring at several harmonic frequencies between 6
and 50 cycles per second. A cycle equals a Hz. Specifically
they are found at 7.8, 14, 20, 26, 33, 39, and 45 Hertz, allowing
a daily variation of around +/- 0.5Hz.

Only
as long as the properties of Earth's electromagnetic cavity remain
about the same, do these frequencies remain the same. Cycles
may vary somewhat due to ionospheric response to the cycle of solar
activity, properties of the atmosphere and magnetosphere. Projects,
such as HAARP, which heat up or blast out the ionosphere pose a potential
threat to this interactive system of catastrophic proportions.

MEASURING
BRAINWAVES: EEG RESEARCH

The
resonant cavity formed between the ionosphere and the earth produces
rhythmic waves capable of entraining and phase locking with brainwaves.
Even at the turn of this millennium, engineer Hainsworth (now
deceased) seems to have been unfamiliar with extensive work in brainwave
research in neurology, hypnotherapy and bio- and neuralfeedback.
This research includes extensive experiments in frequency-following
response (ffr) and relating brainwaves, brainwave deficiencies and
irregularities to psychobiological states.

The
brain is a massive source of ELF signals that get transmitted throughout
the body through the nervous system, which is sensitive to magnetic
fields. Brainwaves and natural biorhythms can be entrained by
strong external ELF signals, such as stationary waves at Schumann
resonance. Entrainment, synchronization, and amplification leads
toward coherent large-scale activity, rather than typical flurries
of transient brainwaves. Thus, resonant standing waves emerge
from the brain, which under the right conditions facilitates internal
and external bioinformation transfer, via ELF electromagnetic waves.
These SR waves, exhibit non-local character and nearly-instant communication.

The
EEG (electroencephalograph) measures brainwaves of different frequencies
within the brain. Rhythmicity in the EEG is a key variable in the
coordination of cortical activity. Electrodes are placed on specific
sites on the scalp to detect and record the electrical impulses within
the brain. Frequency is the number of times a wave repeats itself
within a second. It can be compared to the frequencies on a
radio. Amplitude represents the power of electrical impulses
generated by the brain. Volume or intensity of brain wave activity
is measured in microvolts.

Raw
EEG frequency bands include Gamma (higher than 30Hz); Beta (14-30Hz);
Alpha (7.5-13Hz); Theta (3.5-7.5Hz); and Delta (less than 4Hz).
Their ranges overlap one another along the frequency spectrum by 0.5Hz
or more. These frequencies are linked to behaviors, subjective
feeling states, physiological correlates, etc. Clinical improvement
with EEG biofeedback is traceable to improved neuroregulation in the
basic functions by appeal to their underlying rhythmic mechanisms.

Schumann's
resonance forms a natural feedback loop with the human mind/body.
Our brains and bodies developed in the biosphere, the EM environment
conditioned by this cyclic pulse. Conversely, this pulse acts
as a "driver" of our brains, and can also potentially carry
information as well. Functional processes may be altered and
new patterns of behavior facilitated through the brain's web of inhibitory
and excitatory feedback networks.

Like sound waves,
the brain has its own set of vibrations it uses to communicate with
itself and the rest of the body; EEG equipment distinguishes these
waves by measuring the speed with which neurons fire in cycles per
second. At their boundaries these waves can overlap somewhat,
merging seamlessly into one another, so different researchers may
give slightly different readings for the range of cycles per second.
Rate of cycling determines the type of activity, kindling wave after
wave over the whole surface of the brain, by igniting more neurons.

BETA waves
(14 cycles per second and above) dominate our normal waking state
of consciousness when attention is directed towards cognitive tasks
and the outside world. Beta waves range between 13-40 Hz. Gamma
(above 30 Hz) represents hyperarousal. The Beta wave is associated
with peak concentration, heightened alertness and visual acuity. Nobel
Prize winner, Sir Francis Crick and other scientists believe that
the 40Hz beta frequency may be key to the act of cognition.

ALPHA waves
(7-13 cycles per second) are present during dreaming and light meditation
when the eyes are closed. As more and more neurons are requited to
this frequency, alpha waves cycle globally across the whole cortex.
This induces of deep relaxation, but not quite meditation. In Alpha,
we begin to access the wealth of creativity that lies just below our
conscious awareness. It is the gateway, the entry point that
leads into deeper states of consciousness. Alpha is also the home
of the window frequency known as the Schumann Resonance, which is
the resonant frequency of the earth's electromagnetic field. SR waves
propagate with little attenuation around the planet. When we
intentionally generate alpha waves and go into resonance with that
earthy frequency, we naturally feel better, refreshed, in tune, in
synch. It is, in fact, environmental synchronization.

THETA waves
(4-7 cycles per second) occur most often in sleep but are also dominant
in the deepest state of mediation (body asleep/mind awake). The optimum
level for deep thought is this realm of Theta. In Theta, our senses
are withdrawn from the external world and focused on the mindscape,
internally originating signals. Theta waves are associated with mystery,
an elusive and extraordinary realm we can explore. It is that twilight
state which we normally only experience fleetingly as we rise from
the depths of delta upon waking, or drifting off to sleep. In theta
we are in a waking dream, vivid imagery flashes before the mind's
eye and we are receptive to information beyond our normal conscious
awareness. Theta has also been identified as the gateway to learning
and memory. Theta meditation increases creativity, enhances learning,
reduces stress and awakens intuition and other extrasensory perception
skills.

DELTA waves
range between 0-4 Hz. Delta is associated with deep sleep. In
deepest meditation and dreamless sleep, Delta waves are generated.
Each of these brainwave frequencies serves an important function.
DELTA waves confer a suspension of external existence and provide
the most profound feelings of peace. In addition, certain frequencies
in the delta range trigger the release of growth hormone beneficial
for healing and regeneration. This is why sleep, deep restorative
sleep is so essential to the healing process.

The rhythms and
pulsations of the human brain mirror those of the resonant properties
of the terrestrial cavity, which functions as a waveguide. This
natural frequency pulsation is not a fixed number, but an average
of global readings, much like EEG is an average of brainwave readings.
SR actually fluctuates, like brainwaves, due to geographical location,
lightning, solar flares, atmospheric ionization and daily cycles.

The
most important slow rhythm is the daily rhythm sensed directly as
change of light. Rhythms connected with the daily rhythm are called
circadian (an example is pineal gland melatonin secretion). Some experiments
in the absence of natural light have shown that the basic human "clock"
is actually slightly longer than one day, and closer to one lunar
day (24h 50min). The lunar day has a similar period (24h 50min).

On
a slower scale, a strong influence on the Earth is its geomagnetic
field, which is influenced by the following periods: the Moon's rotation
(29.5 days); the Earth's rotation (365.25 days); Sun spots (11 and
22 years); the nutation cycle (18.6 years); the rotation of the planets
(88 days to 247.7 years); and all the way out to the galaxy's rotation
cycle (250 million years).Very important rhythms are in the order
of 1-2 hours, like hormone secretion, and dominant nostril exchange.
In the range of human EEG, we have the Sun's electromagnetic oscillation
of 10Hz, while the Earth-ionosphere SR system is resonant at frequencies
in the theta, alpha, beta1 and beta2 bands.

Different
species often have internal generators of environmental rhythms, which
can be extremely precise, up to 10 -4. The frequency of
these oscillators is then phase locked loop (PLL) synchronized with
the natural rhythms. Environmental synchronization sources are often
called "zeitgebers." The mechanism of optical synchronization
can be shown. The presented rhythms should inspire a better understanding
of the interaction of internal and external rhythms during specific
states of consciousness.

This bioelectrical
domain is geared to thalamocortical generation of rhythmic activity.
In neurofeedback, what is being trained is the degree of rhythmicity
of the thalamocortical regulatory circuitry. Rhythmicity manages the
entire range of activation and arousal in the bio-electrical domain.
One role advocated for rhythmic activity is that of time binding,
the need for harnessing brain electrical activity which is spatially
distributed while maintaining it as a single entity. Brainwaves
indicate the arousal dimension, and arousal mediates a number of conditions.
Changes in sympathetic and parasympathetic arousal "tunes"
the nervous system.

Delta waves are
the slowest but highest in amplitude. They are abundant in deep,
dreamless sleep, non-REM sleep, trance, and unconsciousness.
Theta waves mean 'slow" activity connected often with creativity,
intuition, daydreaming or recalling emotions and sensations.
Focus is internal in this state between waking and sleep. Under
stress it may manifest as distraction, lack of focus. Alpha
waves aid relaxation and overall mental coordination, calmness, alertness,
inner awareness, mind/body integration and learning.

The brain responds
to inputs at a certain frequency or frequencies. The computer can
create wave form patterns or certain frequencies that compare with
the mind's neural signals in terms of mind patterns. If people
can control their mind patterns, they can enter different states of
being (mental relaxation, study, etc.). What happens when the mind
is entrained with a sound or vibration that reflects the thought patterns?
When the mind responds to certain frequencies and behaves as a resonator,
is there a harmonic frequency that the mind vibrates to or can attune
to? What does the study of harmonic resonance - sound or vibration
have to do with the brain's frequency waves?

Soundwaves are
examples of periodicity, of rhythm. Sound is measured in cycles per
second (Hertz or Hz). Each cycle of a wave is in reality a single
pulse of sound. The average range of hearing for the human ear is
somewhere between 16 hz. and 20,000 Hz. We can not hear extremely
low frequencies (ELFs), but we can perceive them as rhythmic.

Entrainment
is the process of synchronization, where vibrations of one object
will cause the vibrations of another object to oscillate at the same
rate. External rhythms can have a direct effect on the psychology
and physiology of the listener. Slower tempos from 48-70 BPMS have
been proven to decrease heart and respiratory rates, thereby altering
the predominate brainwave patterns.

Binaural
beats are continuous tones of subtlety different frequencies,
which are delivered to each ear independently in stereo via headphones.
If the left channel's pitch is 100 cycles per second and the right
channel's pitch is 108 cycles per second, the difference between the
two equals 8 cycles per second. When these sounds are combined they
produce a pulsing tone that waxes and wanes in a "wah-wah"
rhythm.

Binaural beats
are not an external sound; rather they are subsonic frequencies
heard within the brain itself. These frequencies are created as both
hemispheres work simultaneously to hear sounds that are pitched differed
by key mathematical intervals (window frequencies).
The brainwaves respond to these oscillating tones by following them
(entrainment) and both hemispheres begin to work together.
Communication between the two sides of the brain is associated with
flashes of creativity, insight and wisdom.

Alpha-wave biofeedback
is considered a consciousness self-regulation technique, while alpha-frequency
binaural-beat stimulation (frequency-following response) is a passive
management technique where cortical potentials entrain to or resonate
at the frequency of an external stimulus. Through the self-regulation
of specific cortical rhythms, we begin to control those aspects of
consciousness associated with that rhythm. When the goal is
alpha, either in meditation or biofeedback, it means entraining with
the primary Schumann resonance.

MEASURING
CHANGES IN THE SCHUMANN'S RESONANCES

Earth's background
base frequency, or "heartbeat," (SR) fluctuates and may
be rising dramatically. Though it varies among geographical regions,
for decades the overall measurement was 7.8 cycles per second. This
was once thought to be a constant and so global military communications
were developed using this frequency. Recent reports set the rate at
over 11 cycles, and climbing. Science doesn't know why, what to make
of it, or even if these reports are credible.

Gregg Braden claims
to have found data collected by Norwegian and Russian researchers,
saying it's not widely reported in the U.S. These authors have
been unable to substantiate this. He suggests the only reference to
SR to be found in the Seattle Library reference section is tied to
the weather. Science acknowledges SR as a sensitive indicator of temperature
variations and worldwide weather conditions. Braden believes the fluctuating
SR may be a factor in the severe storms, floods, and weather of recent
years.

As previously stated,
the Earth behaves like an enormous electric circuit. The atmosphere
is actually a weak conductor and if there were no sources of charge,
its existing electric charge would diffuse away in about 10 minutes.
There is a 'cavity' defined by the surface of the Earth and the inner
edge of the ionosphere, whose height also fluctuates somewhat. At
any moment, the total charge residing in this cavity is reported at
500,000 Coulombs.

There is a vertical
current flow between the ground and the ionosphere described in the
literature at 1 - 3 x 10^-12 Amperes per square meter. The resistance
of the atmosphere is 200 Ohms. The voltage potential is 200,000 Volts.
There are about 1000 lightning storms at any given moment worldwide.
Each produces 0.5 to 1 Ampere and these collectively account for the
measured current flow in the Earth's 'electromagnetic' cavity.

The Schumann Resonances
are quasi standing wave electromagnetic waves that exist in this cavity.
Like waves on a string, they must be potentiated or excited in order
to be observed. They are not caused by internal terrestrial factors,
or Earth's crustal movements, or its core which does produce magnetic
fields. SR is generated around electrical activity in the atmosphere,
particularly emerging from intense lightning activity. While the properties
of Earth's electromagnetic cavity remains about the same, these frequencies
remain the same. Presumably there is some change due to the solar
sunspot cycle as the Earth's ionosphere changes in response to flares
and mass ejections during the 11-year cycle of solar activity.
High energy charges coming off the sun brush across the upper atmosphere,
ionizing gases in the upper atmosphere.

Since the earth's
atmosphere carries a charge, a current and a voltage, it is not surprising
to find such electromagnetic waves. The resonant properties of this
terrestrial cavity were first mathematically predicted by German physicist
W. O. Schumann between 1952 and 1957, and subsequently detected by
him with Konig in 1954. Much of the research in recent decades
has been conducted by the Department of the Navy who use Extremely
Low Frequency (ELF) signals for communication with submarines.
Of course, little attention is given by defense contractors to issues
of psychobiological health and well being.

Standard
magnetometers are not able to measure the Schumann resonances.
Even the search coil (i.e., pulsation) magnetometers, most often sampled
at about 0.1 Hz, do not allow such studies. Special equipment is thus
needed (see, e.g., Sentman and Fraser, 1991). Current findings
suggest,

2).
7.83 is the strongest of the seven resonances, in the alpha brainwave
range. If the rise in resonance continues, this primary
resonance, the earth pulse, changes from sub band low alpha (7-10Hz)
to sub band high alpha (10-12Hz), perhaps influencing our ability
to deeply relax, balance and integrate our mind/body connection.
It could influence REM sleep and dreaming. If it continues to
rise, it will breach the threshold into 'fast' beta activity.
Low beta (12-15Hz) is associated with lack of focused attention, and
low beta can even reflect Attention Deficit Disorder.

3).
The amplitude (i.e. intensity) of the Schumann resonance is not constant,
and appears to be extremely dependent upon tropical (and hence global)
temperature. Indeed preliminary results seem to indicate that
a mere one degree increase in temperature seems to be correlated with
a doubling of the SR. This could not be more significant, as
it is unknown what psychobiological effect these fluctuations could
have on humans.

One
of the most crucial questions in science today centers on whether
or not the planetary temperature is rising, falling, or remaining
unchanged. Recently global warming has been acknowledged by
most in the field, and technology is implicated. On one hand,
analyses of thermometer measurements of near-surface global (land
and sea) air temperatures suggest the planet has been warming in recent
decades. But satellite measurements of the planet’s lower atmospheric
temperature show little perceptible warming from 1979 to 1998.

Temperature data
from weather balloons launched throughout the world reveal variations
and trends in global temperatures that correspond to those found in
the satellite based measurements. Analysis of pressure thickness measurements
from these same balloons also shows no warming in recent decades.
It’s no wonder we have such an ongoing "heated debate"
about the recent temperature history of the earth! Most lay
people know and recognize their local weather is markedly different
than past decades.

Scientists have
suggested lately that another method may exist to accurately monitor
planetary temperature. The idea is simple, though the underlying physics
of the processes are complex. The method is based on the well known
fact that thunderstorms and lightning strokes in many parts of the
world are directly related to lower-atmospheric air temperatures.
Higher temperatures produce more lightning strokes, while lower temperatures
tend to depress lightning activity.

Lightning discharges
occurring anywhere in the world produce electromagnetic pulses that
spread away from the source. Much of the energy is quickly degraded,
but some of the energy the lightning produces falls in the extremely
low-frequency, long-wavelength domain of the electromagnetic spectrum.
At these long wavelengths, the energy from a lightning stroke is able
to circumnavigate the earth without serious degradation. This low-frequency/long-wavelength
energy creates SR signals which can be detected throughout the world.

Understanding SR
waves requires a basic appreciation of the vertical structure of the
atmosphere. In that upper reaches of the ionosphere, incoming ultraviolet
radiation and soft X-rays affect atoms or bonded groups of atoms,
causing gains or losses of negatively charged electrons. This interaction
creates an environment of positively and negatively charged particles
of the high atmosphere that, among other interesting qualities, can
readily conduct electricity.

The bulk of our
insultating atmosphere lies between two conducting layers of earth's
surface and the lower boundary of the ionosphere. This spherically
concentric cavity, called the earth-ionosphere cavity, is bounded
by those electrically conducting walls. Again, lightning discharges
within the cavity produce electromagnetic pulses that spread away
from the source in the extremely low-frequency domain, and the conductive
walls of the cavity produce some interesting effects for the low-frequency
energy.

For example, energy
with a frequency near 7.5 Hz (7.5 cycles per second) would have a
wavelength of about 40,000 km (recall that wavelength = speed of light
/ frequency). Because this wavelength equals the circumference of
the earth, the energy is able to circumnavigate the earth–ionosphere
cavity without serious degradation. The 100 or so lightning
bolts occurring each second in the 2,000 concurrent thunderstorms
around the world contribute to the energy in the 7.5 Hz portion of
the spectrum, which can be measured anywhere on the planet. It is
these resonance properties of the global spherical capacitor or resonator
that Schumann first predicted over 40 years ago.

In an article published
in Science, M.I.T. scientist Earle Williams (1992) constructed
a powerful argument that links Schumann resonances to convection and
ultimately to widespread tropical and/or global temperature. Williams
concluded that a 1°C warming in the tropics should result in a fourfold
increase in lightning activity, and he presented empirical data from
several locations to support his conclusion. He noted that any
measurable parameter nonlinearly related to temperature could be extremely
useful in assessing the most subtle changes in global temperature.
Others have presented different sensitivities: Price (1993) concluded
1°C warming would increase global lightning activity by 7 percent;
Price and Rind (1994) found a 5 percent to 6 percent increase per
1°C sensitivity; while Reeve and Toumi (1998) found the sensitivity
to be near 40 percent per 1°C.

Regardless of the
exact sensitivity, all scientists conclude that lightning increases
for even moderate amounts of warming worldwide. More lightning generates
a stronger SR, which may be useful in monitoring planetary temperature.
The link between SR and the number of lightning strokes is supported
by a mean day–night temperature fluctuation pattern. A diurnal
pattern of worldwide lightning exists with three maxima recorded regularly
due to the large number of mid- to late-afternoon thunderstorms in
land areas of Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia and Australia.
Storms typically are first generated in Asia, later they form in Africa,
and later each day they congeal in South America.

Global
warming has been linked to suspected rise in SR, and is a threat to
its synchronization with our brainwaves. Small changes in temperature
pump up into large signals in ELF resonances. Long-term monitoring
and study of global climate changes via measurements of extremely
low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic waves needs to be studied more
closely. Monitoring the intensity and frequencies of the lightning-induced
ELF SR could help monitor changes in the Earth's climate over time.

One
program proposed to set up two or three widely separated ELF field
sites. One suggested site was a permanent SR monitoring station in
the Negev desert, Israel. Members of this proposal want to develop,
test, and install the appropriate software for automatic electromagnetic
monitoring and preliminary processing of the incoming data. They suggested
simultaneous measurements could be made in Russia and Sweden to test
the global nature of the ELF signals measured in Israel.

Continuous
ELF data measured in Israel could be compared with other ELF data
sets from other locations around the world such as Hungary, USA, or
Japan. Furthermore, the relevant global climate data sets, such as
surface temperature, satellite observations of the global distribution
of deep convection, and global atmospheric water vapor measurements
can be used for comparisons with SR data to check the reliability
of the "global thermometer" hypothesis.

A systematic study
of SR parameters during high-energy particle precipitation events
has also been presented. Protons and electrons with energies above
1 MeV ionize the upper boundary of the Earth-ionosphere cavity, leading
to an increase of the resonance frequency and a decrease of the damping
of the first Schumann resonance, as derived from measurements at Arrival
Heights, Antarctica.

The study used
the nine strongest solar proton events of the past Solar Cycle 22
and high-energy electrons emitted periodically from co-rotating interaction
regions in the solar wind during 1994-1995. The variation of the SR
parameters is in qualitative agreement with current theories of Schumann
resonances. The study also shows that high-energy particle precipitation
-- solar ejecta -- is not the only relevant source affecting SR parameters.
The reported findings constitute a so far little-explored aspect of
solar-terrestrial interaction.

TAMPERING
WITH THE IONOSPHERE

Clearly, the dangers
from conventional EM pollution sources and solar system dynamics are
substantial on their own. But the potentials from so-called
"ionospheric heaters" are truly frightening, for we have
no idea what possibilities can emerge from long-term meddling with
the delicate balance of the ionosphere and global temperature, which
is also linked to a world-wide oceanic pumping system whose source
lies off Greenland.

Tesla technology
has been applied in a variety of ways, through the HAARP Project,
(High Frequency Active Auroral Research Progam), which might have
cavalierly been called, "How to Exploit the Ionosphere for Fun
and Profit." Yet this is No Joke! There are smaller
systems at Arecibo, Puerto Rico; Fairbanks Alaska; Tromso, Norway,
Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and Apatity, Russia; Kharkov, Ukraine and
Dushanbe, Tadzhikstan.

HAARP is the largest
of the so-called 'ionospheric heaters'. The ionosphere begins
approximately 35 miles above the surface and extends out beyond 500
miles. It contains both positively and negatively charged particles
known as ions and electrons naturally created as a result of the action
of the sun's radiation (solar winds). The ionosphere is capable
of strong interaction with radio waves -- distorting them, totally
reflecting or absorbing them. Downward propagating waves can
couple into the Earth-ionospheric wave guide.

H. L. Roland, expert
in beam and plasma physics at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington
D.C. says it is possible to modulate the ambient current flowing in
the ionosphere. The auroral electrojet can be manipulated to
generate extremely low frequency (ELF) and very low frequency (VLF)
radiation. This ionospheric modification technique can provide
such waves for probing both the Earth and the ionosphere-magnetosphere.
The modification occurs in the lower D-region and can provide information
about the ambient conditions in one of the least diagnosed regions
of the ionosphere.

HAARP's massive
antenna-array (360 72 foot tall antennas, over a thirty-three acre
field, acting as one giant array) is managed by the US Air Force
and US Navy in Gakona, Alaska (200 miles east of Anchorage).
It heats the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable electromagnetic
beam designed to simulate and control ionospheric process. Gigawatts
of effective radiated power of high frequency radio energy are pumped
into the ionosphere. The transmitter (a particle injection device)
can produce a beam anywhere from several miles to several tens of
miles in radius, using the 2.5-10 megahertz frequency range, at more
than 3 gigawatts of power (3 billion watts) creating plumes of charged
particles.

In 1998 input power
was raised to 10 gigawatts, transmittable in the the north-south or
east-west direction. Reports say in each transmission cycle,
HAARP switches from the east-west to the north-south beams and back
again, producing a spiraling or "cork-screwing" upward at
0.9Hz.. This is called "circular polarization" of
the radio signal. It makes ions in the upper atmosphere move
in big circles with a one second lap time.

Optimum lap time
is dictated by the plasma density related to the temperature, number
of ions and neutral atoms in the ionosphere. This makes the
ions, both electrons and protons, into little electromagnets.
HAARP also can function as a particle gun. The particles shoot
off into space, still spiraling and magnetic, following the earth's
magnetic field lines, completing a circuit from pole to pole in one
second.

A number of public
reasons for this project are given, including ELF communications for
submarines, but another host of surveillance and covert military applications
are suspected, based on Tesla's original descriptions of the powers
of such a massive pulse technology, including mind-control experiments.
Detractors have called HAARP a "skybuster" since it effectively
slices through the ionosphere like a microwave knife, producing a
long tear or incision.

Physicist Daniel
Winter, Ph.D. says HAARP high-frequency emissions can couple with
longwave (low-frequency, or ELF) pulses the Earth grid uses to distribute
information as vibrations to synchronize the dance of life in the
biosphere. He terms this geomagnetic action 'Earth's information
bloodstream", and claims it is probable that coupling HAARP HF
(high-frequency) with natural ELF (extremely low frequency) can cause
unplanned, unsuspected side effects.

As the Earth rotates,
HAARP slices across geomagnetic flux (a donut-shaped spool of magnetic
strings like longitude meridians on maps). HAARP may not 'cut'
these strings in the magnetic mantle, but does pulse each thread with
harsh, disharmonious high frequencies, whose noisy impulses vibrate
geomagnetic flux lines, sensing shuddering vibrations throughout the
geomagnetic web. We can only conjecture at this point about
its effects on the foundations of human electromagnetic function.

Paul Schaefer,
electrical engineer, alleges that radiation excites large numbers
of tiny unstable particles, high-velocity particles in the atmosphere
and Van Allen Belts and can be the villain in weather disruption as
Earth discharges the buildup of heat, relieving stress and tectonic
strain through earthquakes and volcanic action.

Ionospheric heaters
deliberately create instabilities in the plasma layer of the ionosphere
to rev up the the energy level of charged particles. This results
also in electronic rain from the sky -- electron precipitation
from the magnetosphere. It is caused by man-made very low frequency
EM waves. The precipitated particles can produce secondary ionization,
emit X-rays, and cause significant perturbation in the lower atmosphere,
potentially affecting human brainwaves, and even our evolution, if
Hainsworth is correct.

Thus, we see that
HAARP can be employed for nefarious weather modification, which can
also damage the ozone layer and cause earthquakes. An electronic
beam can ionize or de-ionize the atmosphere over a given area, including
military targets. Thus, the key to geophysical warfare is the
identification of environmental instabilities where adding a small
amount of energy can release vastly greater amounts of energy.
Hopefully, this system won't soon be tested in any possible confrontation
in the Middle East.

Frighteningly,
mankind can now tamper with weather manipulation, climate modification,
polar ice cap melting or destabilization, ozone depletion techniques,
earthquake engineering, ocean wave control and brain wave manipulations
using the planet's energy fields, according to geophysics and planetary
physics expert Professor Gordon J. F. MacDonald. We must become
more aware, as are scientists that global weather is a complex system,
including air pressure and thermal systems, but also an electrical
system. Because of the so-called 'butterfly effect" described
in chaos theory, input of small charges get pumped up into big effects,
since HAARP pulses the ionosphere where it is relatively unstable,
creating greater turbulence. Complex systems, can suddenly collapse
in catastrophic events. Cascades of effects could destroy the
biosphere.

It is important
to remember that the ionosphere is an active electrical UV shield
which protects the biosphere from the constant bombardment of high-energy
radiation and particles from space. This conducting plasma,
along with the Earth's magnetic field, traps the electrical plasma
of space and holds it back from going directly to the earth's surface,
says Charles Yost of Dynamic Systems, Leicester, North Carolina.
Power line harmonic resonance causes fallout of charged particles
from the Van Allen (radiation) belts, and the falling ions cause ice
crystals which precipitate rain clouds. HAARP can release a
thousandfold-greater amount of energy than the power injected into
the ionosphere.

Non-linear effects
mean small input with multi-gigawatt pulsing leads to exponentially
larger output. A "non-linear reaction" results from
a small input of energy entering an environmental instability and
producing a vastly increased energy output. Early ionospheric
heaters began as ground-based antennae that would focus a cone-shaped
beam of energy over a relatively large portion of the ionosphere,
to heat it sufficient to get the desired energy gain. When physicist
Eastlund reversed the cone of the radio beam, a much smaller spot
on the ionosphere was pulsed with radio waves to superheat it.
The array of antennae on the ground were all focused on a very specific
point. When antennas fire in sequence, they produce a pulsed
beam, up to 1,000-fold increase.

Therefore, human
activities could cause a significant change in the planet's electrical
circuit or electrical field through man-made ionization from radioactive
material or HAARP-type skybusters. Solar flares modulate conductivity
in the earth's electric field but may be barely detectable meteorologically.
Still, their effects on mass communication and electrical grids is
known to all. Man-made ionization pumps a much higher level
of power to zap atoms and knock electrons off the atoms resulting
in charged particles, and could potentially destabilize or 'short-circuit'
the Earth, potentially exposing the entire biosphere to hard-core
ultraviolet radiation.

We don't know the
long-term outcome of Beat Wave Excitation. Ryutov, Cowley (UCLA)
and Valeo (Princeton) say, "The simultaneous use of HIPAS
and HAARP to heat the same patch of the ionosphere open up a new phenomena
for study. Experiments to study this interaction are underway.
One way to obtain very large beat wave amplitudes is to trap the beat
waves as an eigenmode. We found weakly damped upper hybrid eingenmodes
in our initial calculations. We plan to study various low group
velocity modes. We have developed a raytracing code to follow
both pump and beat waves. We use a numerical algorithm to determine
the three wave matching point and use analytic formula to launch pump
waves at this point." Are they actually saying that
it's nice to fool with mother nature?

The HAARP pulse
has two primary components. The pre-heat megawatt pulse is aimed
straight upwards from the HAARP facility at the ionosphere, where
it interacts with electrons, protons or ionized parts of atoms like
oxygen, ozone, or nitrogen. Normally randomly moving particles
in the near-vacuum of space become part of the atmosphere. When
the pulse hits they become super-excited to 300,000 kilometers per
second. Striking the atmosphere, they are ionized. Ions
suddenly increase, and hit other atoms creating the "ionospheric
heating." In portion A of the pulse, identifier tones are
sent at frequencies of 360, 1000, 1700 Hz, In Part B the tones
are 650 Hz with harmonics at 1300 Hz. In Part C there is continuous
tone signal at 2100 Hz remaining throughout the whole pulse, with
a weaker tone around 2500Hz.

International concerns
over HAARP and sister projects deploying similar energy beams have
continued unabated for over a decade. The most recent developments
and proposals are not encouraging:

"The
U.S. military's Joint Vision 2020 report shamelessly documents its
desire to establish “full spectrum dominance” over the
Earth. “U.S. Space Command confirmed that Vision 2020 was its
current policy, but a spokesman said it was in the process of being
updated,” Britain’s Independent newspaper reported
a year ago. The Independent article’s thesis was obvious—the
United States is becoming a “rogue” state isolated from
its Western European allies.

“What
is clear is that part of the money voted to Bush’s Star Wars
plan will be used for research into space-based lasers,” the
Independent reported. “These, we are told, will be used
to shoot down the missiles fired in anger by ‘rogue states.’
But they will, inevitably, evolve into weapons aimed at America’s
enemies from space. U.S. Space Command doesn’t even bother to
hide this fact. The most chilling illustration in Vision 2020 is of
such a space-based laser firing a beam of energy at the earth.”

"Earlier
this year, U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich told Alive that
Vision 2020 is already an ongoing military program to experiment with
directed energy. On November 9 last year, Carol R. Schuster, director
for defense capabilities and management of the General Accounting
Office (GAO), briefed the Democratic minority members of the House
Armed Services Committee on Joint Vision 2020. Schuster explained,
“Joint Vision 2020 also emphasizes the importance of experimentation
to identify innovations in warfighting.

"Designated
as DOD’s [Department of Defense’s] executive agent for
joint warfighting experimentation in 1998, the U.S. Joint Forces Command
conducts experiments on new warfighting concepts and operations.”
Schuster pointed out, “The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
recognizes that a joint force is key to operational success and envisions
an interoperable joint force with technologically advanced warfighting
capabilities able to dominate any adversary by 2020.”

"Schuster
confirmed Kucinich’s comments in a report detailing that “the
Joint Requirements Oversight Council plays a key role” in advancing
Vision 2020, and that “U.S. Joint Forces Command conducts experiments
on new warfighting concepts and operations.” “In 1998,
the U.S. Joint Forces Command began to implement a joint experimentation
program to test new warfighting concepts that now support Joint Vision
2020,” Schuster reported.

"The
HAARP program is jointly administered by the U.S. Navy and Air Force
and is a central part of the Vision 2020 strategy. A February 1990
HAARP Joint Service program plan drafted by the Air Force’s
Geophysical Laboratory and the Navy’s Office of Naval Research
documents the plan’s military applications: The document indicates
that HAARP will be used, among other things, for generating extremely
low-frequency waves for submerged submarine communication and possible
weather warfare applications, and for attempts to take advantage of
natural ionospheric processes by directing energy through the ionosphere
and back to Earth. The Russians and some European allies are
worried that the U.S. military’s experiments focusing large
amounts of high-frequency energy for military purposes could theoretically
trigger earthquakes. In April 1992, Defense News reported that
the U.S. deployed an electromagnetic pulse weapon during Operation
Desert Storm." (Fitrakis, 2002)

COLLATING
THE GEOPHYSICAL AND PSYCHOBIOLOGICAL DATA

Great care needs
to be taken collating geophysical and psychobiological data, because
it is difficult to attribute specific agents to changes in human health
and behavior since we all live in a webwork of tremendous complexity.
Liasons need to be made with various sources monitoring the important
dimensions for whatever reasons, and the data applied to this research
direction.

Hainsworth
strongly urged that research be carried out of widespread measurements
of the natural SR signals' frequency variations and field-strengths
comparing them with resulting figures for the incidence of heart attacks,
suicide attempts, road accidents, social violence, domestic accidents,
crime, etc. Studies are often conducted in this inferential
and statistical way, such as those by Stanley Krippner and Michael
Persinger, searching correlations between the phenomena of earth lights
and tectonic strain with reports of UFO sightings, abduction reports
and other anomalous psychophysical experiences, for an electromagnetic
correlation to transient temporal lobe seizures (TLTs).

The
authors also strongly suggest that correlations of broad changes in
the modulations of Schumann's Resonance be studied in relationship
to microwave radiation, ELF signals, and HAARP activity, for both
immediate and long-term consequences. We have discussed the
obvious ramifications of such EM pollution and 10 - 50 Hz modulations
on the human system elsewhere ("Synthetic Telepathy," 2001).
Specific HAARP transmissions could certainly have a negative emotional/psychological
impact on people and an especially negative impact on already "unstable"
individuals.

Other factors which
must be considered include Solar Terrestrial Activity Reports, changes
in the geomagnetic field, sunspot activity and coronal holes, solar
flux, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and flares (http://www.dxlc.com/solar/
). Some of this material has been collated at the 'Earth Monitor
Website' by Michael Mandeville (http://www.michaelmandeville.com/earthmonitor/
), a founding member of O.A.K. (Organization for the Advancement of
Knowledge), with one of the authors, Richard Alan Miller. Mandeville's
"Oak Tree Memorandum" described effects of sunspot activity
throughout 2002-2003. Parameters of influence include human
aggression, violence, and wars over the past couple of hundred years,
stock market and food production, etc. as well as the weather patterns
of the past several years. Sunspot and ejecta activity for this
23rd solar cycle is expected to abate, as of April-May, 2003.

The HAARP Project
(http://www.haarp.alaska.edu), itself, provides public records
from its fluxgate magnetometer (http://137.229.36/cgi-bin/magnetometer/gak-mag.cgi
). Geomagnetic storminess is usually indicated in oscillatory
variations in the earth's magnetic field. Additional data concerning
the nature and severity of the ionospheric disturbance can be found
through analysis of the three components of the field. Data
from a chain of magnetometers is also available on a regular basis.
Magnetic models of the annual magnetic means of global magnetic field
changes (field strength, direction, vector-magnetic-field components)

IMPLICATIONS
AND DIRECTIONS

Further research
on these electromagnetic relationships is essential, perhaps even
to our psychophysical survival as a species. They affect our
minds, the cellular and genetic structure of our bodies, our sleep
and dream cycles, our emotions, perhaps even our spirit. Monitoring
and collating these effects of atmospheric tampering and their potential
influence on the ionosphere and SR, therefore human brainwaves and
health, should be continued. We are approaching the end of the
current sunspot cycle, and should use an entire 11 year cycle to acquire
accurate data results, as Hainsworth suggested.

A team of researchers
and physicists, including these authors, is pulling together some
relevant data under the auspices of the Journal of Non-Local and
Remote Mental Interactions (JNLRMI) at http://www.emergentmind.com
edited by physicist Lian Sidorov. A major hypothesis of this
group is that em fields outside of the body are crucial for our consciousness.
Finnish physicist Matti Pikanen has developed a model of physics,
called Topological Geometrodynamics (TGD), highlighting the close
relationship of human physiology with SR and other ELF and electromagnetic
patterns.

Pitkanen believes
that not only global, but interplanetary and interstellar magnetic
fields are of great importance for conscious life. His explanations
involve magnetic flux tubes, a dipole-like part of a field.
A wide range of em waves, in particular microwaves and radiowaves
are likely key elements in homeostasis, remote mental interactions
between cells and other structures, and sensory representation, as
well as in remote mental interactions both within and outside of the
body. He explains that the noise level of Earth's magnetic field
must be low for anomalous cognition (also called psi or ESP) to occur.
Alan Frey suggested similar field notions decades ago, speaking specifically
of microwave range inputs.

These em fields
are only correlates of consciousness. Still, TGD allows the
possibility of assigning someone's field body a topological field
quanta identity. Pitkanin also suggests these fields and waves
are influential when biological systems perform quantum computation-like
processes. His biophysics suggests that neural circuits and
molecules are bound by lock and key mechanisms through this process
of magnetic circulation (topologically quantized diploar magnetic
fields).

Pitkanen even sees
Earth's magnetic field as a quantized dipolar magnetic field interaction
of knotting, linking, and complex twisting. TGD views the brain and
nervous system as a sensory organ for our extended, electromagnetic
selves, which have a length scale at least the size of the Earth's
diameter. He suggests further that psi phenomena and distant healing
may involve transfer of specific electromagnetic frequencies through
Planck-length wormholes and join-along boundaries postulated by TGD,
which would allow for the near-instant transfer of information.

[T]he
magnetic sensory canvas hypothesis provides a mechanism for "sharing
qualia" associated with distant points on the geomagnetic sphere
- essentially a form of cognitive entanglement between operator and
target. One clear advantage of TGD over other models of subtle
energy transmission is that the EM fields are not directly carried
from sender to target, but are simultaneously generated at the two
locations by a vacuum (geometrical) current: hence they remain coherent
while bypassing the paradox of non-attenuation with distance. . .the
illusion of our locality is perpetuated by the data fed to us by our
senses - that is, those perceptions we are habituated to pay attention
to. (Sidorov, JNLRMI)

Other
research suggests the fundamental interaction of internal and external
fields is the right track. Joseph Jacobson (2002) at MIT,
found a way to switch cells off and on with radio waves. His
team also "unzipped" and manipulated DNA with a radio-frequency
pulse. The same approach worked on proteins as well, and proteins
orchestrate nearly all cellular chemical processes. Further,
physicist Peter Gariaev has proposed a wave-based genome, whose main
information channel is the same for both biophotons and radio waves
(see www.emergentmind.org).

In 1973, Miller,
Webb and Dickson described DNA as a holographic projector (see "Embroyonic
Holography"). In other words, genes encode and express
themselves via light and radio waves, or acoustical holography (see
"Quantum Bioholography", Miller, Miller and Webb, JNLRMI
, 2002). Delocalized interference patterns create calibration fields
(blueprints) for our bodies' space-time organization. The system works
as a biocomputer -- a wave biocomputer. DNA can also function
as a gel-like liquid crystal, emitting a weak laser-like light that
can be converted into an electro-acoustic signal.

In conclusion,
Miller and Miller postulate, along with others that,

1. The organization
of all biological systems is established by complex electrodynamic
fields. We are fundamentally electromagntic, rather than chemical
beings. Wave interaction is a key determinant of biological
structure and optimal functioning. Biosystems are sensitive
to natural and artificial electromagnetic fields. Perturbations
in environmental fields can induce changes in organisms informed by
those fields. Field frequencies and amplitudes affect our biodynamic
state.

2. ELF frequencies
of Schumann's Resonance are intimately linked with those of human
brainwaves. Natural or artificially induced changes in SR could
affect subtle and perhaps gross brainwave generation. In particular,
it could lead to changes in patterns and frequencies of resonance
and resulting phenomena such as homeostasis, REM, psi, and healing.

For
a decade, Robert Beck researched the brain wave activity of healers
from all cultures and religious backgrounds (he enumerates psychics,
shamans, dowsers, Christian healers, seers, ESP readers, kahuna, Santeria,
wicca practitioners and others). Independent of their belief
systems, each exhibited "nearly identical EEG signatures"
during their "healing" moments: a 7.8-8Hz brainwave activity,
which lasted from one to several seconds and which was "phase
and frequency-synchronized with the earth's geoelectric micropulsations
- the Schumann resonance". (Sidorov, JNLRMI)

3.
Liquid crystals (DNA, brain ventricles, and cellular structures) in
the human body may operate as antennae for detecting and decoding
such global and local ELF signals. Beal (1996) proposes that
liquid crystals (which are an intrinsic part of cell membranes) act
as a detector/amplifier/memory storage device for ELF EM patterns
in the environment. Proteins, tend to orient themselves in the
10-Hx resonant EMF, so would be extremely sensitive to ELF changes
in the 10Hz region. A coherent wave-field may emerge from the
body's own liquid crystal (LC) matrix.

The
very structure and organization of living tissues is, however, itself
regulated by that master molecule, the DNA. The genetic system (consisting,
to be more accurate, of an equidirectional translation function which
may start equally well with DNA, RNA or protein) reveals itself as
a complex, multidimensional code with both local (codon) and global
(context), material (nucleotide) and field-like (EM hologram) parameters,
all of which are mutually interdependent and at the same time subject
to external, environmental influences. (Sidorov, JNLRMI)

4.
There is a strong correlation between behavioral disturbances in humans
and periods of solar and geomagnetic field turbulence. Conversely,
studies show that subjects living in isolation from geomagnetic rhythms
over long periods of time developed increasing irregularities and
chaotic physiological rhythms - which were dramatically restored after
the introduction of a very weak 10Hz electrical field. Early
astronauts suffered until SR generators were installed in their spacecrafts.

Geomagnetic anomalies
(tectonic strain, earthlights, geomagnetic field perturbations) can
induce some forms of anomalous cognition - such as auditory and visual
hallucinations, and TLTs (temporal lobe transients or small seizures).
Also, one of the effects of meditation is to "quiet the mind"
as a method of allowing the "free-run" (or silent thalamic
periods) to become entrained by natural geophysical rhythms. This
form of tuning or "magnetoreception" is mediated by the
pineal gland (30% of its cells are magnetically sensitive) and organic
magnetite-containing tissues.

Persinger
(1989) points out that deep temporal lobe activity exists in equilibrium
with the global geomagnetic condition. When there is a sudden decrease
in geomagnetic activity, there appears to be an enhancement of processes
that facilitate psi reception, especially telepathy and clairvoyance.
Increases in geomagnetic activity may suppress pineal melatonin levels
and contribute to reductions of cortical seizure thresholds. Indeed,
melatonin is correlated with temporal lobe- related disorders such
as depression and seizures. (Krippner)

[P]si
is always present in space and time, waiting to be accessed by crisis,
emotion, or by optimal laboratory stimulus parameters. Geomagnetic
activity may affect the detection capacity of the brain for this information,
especially the neural pathways that facilitate the consolidation and
conscious access to this information. Without this geomagnetic activity,
awareness of the psi stimulus might not be as likely and the brain's
"latent reserve capacities" would not be utilized. (Krippner)

6.
Sidorov (2001) and others have suggested that human intent functions
as a variable window of transmission/reception in the exchange of
extrasensory information, possibly within the range of ELF electromagnetic
frequencies. Brain synchronization with Schumann's Resonance
of both sender and receiver facilitates psi, or "therapeutic
entrainment," amplifying, re-radiating coherent waveforms derived
from the environment, simulating the wave pattern of the environment.
Sidorov further hypothesizes,

[B]rainvawes
(particularly in the alpha range) can be transmitted along the perineural
system (or via Frohlich excitation) to any distal parts of the body,
and even to adjacent organisms, via ELF EM waves. These frequencies
can be amplified by closely-related Schumann resonance waves, or by
feedback mechanisms typical of the body's physiological pathways (akin
to immunologic and neuroendocrinologic cascades). In turn, these basic
frequencies can re-activate stalled healing processes, enhance growth,
accelerate immune responses, and generally "jump-start"
functions inherent to the body's tissues, by "rebalancing its
energies" (according to Oriental medicine) or (in Beal's terminology)
by re-configuring the liquid crystal orientation of cell membrane
components and thus triggering specific intracellular responses.

In
light of all of the above observations, we are proposing that the
Schumann resonance may be the substrate for a radar-type extrasensory
perception mechanism common to all living beings: like water bouncing
off of rocks and other submerged objects, this non-specific frequency
is absorbed and re-radiated in unique interference patterns by all
objects it encounters; this interference pattern is a composite of
external and internal properties, as the constituent atoms, molecules
and their global assembly all re-transmit this energy according to
their specific configurations (see Beal on biopolymers).Not
only that, but the "sounding" wave can be frequency and
pattern (Wallaczek) - modulated by conscious intent in order to yield
specific information (interference patterns), which are then decoded
by the brain as they return almost instantly on the "back"
of the Schumann resonance. Once recaptured, the patterns are then
decoded by the brain in a Fourier-type transformation and the information
translated into conscious data, much like other sensory processing.
Conversely, specific effects may be imprinted as bioinformation and
made to exercise a "mysterious action at a distance", once
the signal wave reaches the target. That pattern, in turn,
may, under the right ("pre-requisite") global conditions,
avoid routine dissipation and become instead coupled to the dominating
("state-of-consciousness") standing wave that is picked
up and carried by the Schumann resonance.

In
a prior, "first-thoughts" essay discussing the presence
of Schumann frequencies in the EEG during various healing practices
we had proposed that mental intent might function as a variable window
of transmission/ reception in the exchange of extrasensory information,
which tuned into the Schumann resonance to carry such bio-regulating
information to distant targets and acted as a primitive, radar-type
sensory interface (Sidorov 2001). However, pursuing this line of thought
soon lead to the landmark experiments of Robert Becker - who, it became
evident, had not only reached somewhat similar conclusions based on
his own body of evidence, but had gone beyond them to suggest that
such subtle currents could reach far deeper into our genetic and consciousness
control mechanisms.

After
nearly eight decades of EEG and other brain imaging studies, it is
sobering to realize that we still can't tell with certainty where
EEG voltages come from (Becker 1985, pp 88). It is conceivable that
Becker's perineural system and/or the LC - liquid crystal matrix of
the organism (including, but not limited to, connective tissues, cell
membranes and DNA) might act as a full-body array of sensory receptors
for Pitkanen's magnetic sensory canvas signals, with specific excitations
patterns coding for different types of information.

[T]he
body's ubiquitous liquid crystal arrays and their almost infinite
configuration possibilities make them a top candidate for the primary
sensory receptors parapsychology has been looking for. It is even
conceivable that DNA phase-conjugation properties (see Popp and Chang
1998) allow it to function as a multi-mode antenna, altering its function
according to surrounding signal fields and possibly acting not just
as a regulatory program, but also an element of "extrasensory"
perception.

As
human beings we have extraordinary potentials we have hardly begun
to study much less understand. Creative gifts, intuitions, and
talents that are unpredictable or emergent may become stabilized in
generations to come. Hopefully, we can learn to understand both
our emergence from an essentially electromagnetic environment and
facilitate our potential for healing, growth and non-local communication.

A tremendous amount
of money has been spent on HAARP and its allied projects (such as
the proposed Star Wars missile defense program) without a complementary
sum going toward research about potential hazards. The costs
in both dollars and ruined lives could be staggering compared to any
potential benefits derived from such programs. For epochs, Schumann
Resonances have provided the orchestrating pulse for life on the planet
-- our planetary heartbeat, which sets the tempo for health and well-being.

Hopefully we will
come to appreciate this fully before our technology drives the planet
so far from the norm that the trajectory of human evolution is altered
forever. Thus, the study of the relationship of our bodies,
the electromagnetic environment and interaction with potentially planet-altering
technology is more important than ever to understand on the subtlest
levels.
